The Pack Survives
Jon & Ghost
you know I have mixed feelings about the last GoT episode but Ghost looking happy like the good boy he is and Jon smiling as he sees him then finally petting him was so sweet I can’t even <3
Anyway: I really LIKED this finale a lot. I did not expect to get an ending in which I would like where the people ended up. And I liked where EVERYONE ended up. Holy Shit. I expected nothing but to hate this season - and yet I am literally the only person on the entire planet that liked it appearently^^ I’ll take it. I like enjoying things :D
+ I was talking to my friend today before watching the episode and the three things that I realized I had the biggest Issues with going forward where: Ghosts non existent goodbye - the fact that I don’t want Jon/Dany/Tyrion on the throne - and that Brans storyline feels irrelevant.
I just feel like they made it their mission to get the one person that liked the season so far the ending she would like and they did it. I am beyond happy with this!
Maybe it is the fact that I expected to HATE the final episodes of Game of Thrones... Maybe it is the fact that I never liked or cared for Dany...
But I actually enjoyed this episode^^ It made me like Jon and Arya again - which has been a hot second (or like 4 seasons) and had some really sad scenes (which is my jam). I loved the focus on the innocent bystanders being the ones who suffer from decisions others made. I was really disgusted by the episode (in the best way possible) And am highly intrigued by what the last episode will bring us.
So yeah basically - I am probably the only person on the planet who liked this Episode - but I will stand by that.
(Except for the Jaime Stuff. We do not talk about the Jaime stuff. The Jaime Stuff NEVER happened... kay? kay!) <- only reason I am not bitter about it is because I expected them to ruin my faves - so I was prepared |LeaveSansaAndDavosAloneThough|
TBH, I’m really digging Arya Stark’s character ark this season.
I was very worried she was too traumatized by all that happened to her in the past two seasons, but she’s healing slowly and it moves her from “Characters I lowkey like” to “I STAN”.
life is not a song, s w e e t l i n g.
If you felt the 8x03 battle was ridiculous, remember that D&D wrote out Nymeria and her pack of wolves, killed all the Children of the Forest, erased Bloodraven’s own ulterior motives and basically obliterated the mystery/mysticism factor that made the Northern mythology/history.
So, yeah, it came down to dragons and swords (and Ghost running beside Jorah and the Dothraki instead of Jon??) reducing the richness of a layered mythology to a CW show finale battle.
LYANNA MORMONT!!
He remembered a time when he had thought that Lord Eddard Stark might marry him to Sansa and claim him for a son, but that had only been a child’s fancy.
daenerys: why are you here my good greyjoy pal
theon: *immediately looks at sansa*
me:
I want to fight for Winterfell, Lady Sansa.
